Iparkodunk (Craftivity)

The closed yet living museum. How does the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest survive the closure of its main building? This special publication testifies to the fact that although Ödön Lechner’s art nouveau palace on Üllői út was closed in 2017 due to reconstruction, the museum that was moved out of it is alive and trying to be well. In the 160-page bookazine reports, interviews and colourful stories tell the reader how the closed museum is kept on the surface and how the “Iparművészeti” can still be the art nouveau world heritage centre in the future after the renovation.
